Upgraded the mobile HF setup

[LagunaH1]

Wow, I've been remiss in my duties and not posted about my new mobile HF setup.

I did something stupid to my poor old Yeasu FT-100d so I had to either get it repaired or get something new. Repairing the FT-100d seemed pretty impractical given how old it is so I found a new ICOM IC-7000. The antenna was one I had borrowed from a fellow HAM so when he needed it back, I got a Little Tarheel II to go with the IC-7000.

So far, I'm loving the IC-7000 for it's good quality and good feature set. I will likely get the IC-7000 mic modified to improve the audio but that's about all I want to get done.

That's sure nice!

Worldwide comms anywhere in the world.

Nice.

I may need to tag along sometime when you set that thing up on the hill.

What'd you do to your poor old 100D?

Sure thing, I'll ping you next time....

The FT-100 is sitting in the garage in a somewhat dismantled state needing a new circuit board
